when I post on forums?

Or do I need to pad my keyboard and desk to prevent scratching?

FeelingTheBlues · 7 January 2013, 10:16 AM

What if the pads scratch your watch? Do you have pads' pads?

Every time I read "is it safe" threads I think about Lawrence Olivier in The Marathon Man asking that question over and over

Are you worried about your keyboard and desk being scratched?

GradyPhilpott · 7 January 2013, 11:29 AM

Never, ever, remove a Rolex watch from its protective case.

It's okay to have a look once in a while, but that's it.

withthesword · 7 January 2013, 11:37 AM

i wouldn't even look at it. the light reflecting off our retinas back at the watch could potentially have harmful effects.

No take it off and send to me to hold it...

You know on a serious note I think it takes on average a new owner two months to not care about scratches anymore. I know I'm over it.

withthesword · 7 January 2013, 01:00 PM

i suppose i'm fortunate. the day i purchased my first rolex i had decided right then and there that i would not fear scratches and dings, and that a watch was meant to be worn not worshiped. i think i've saved myself a lot of stress from that mentality over the years.

seand442 · 7 January 2013, 01:03 PM

The secret is bubble wrap. Protective and a damn good time as well.

financeman · 7 January 2013, 01:09 PM

I just leave mine in the box in my safe. That way I know it will stay perfect at all times.

It is not like I bought my watches to wear.

GradyPhilpott · 7 January 2013, 01:57 PM

I never feel like I really own something until it gets that first ding, dent, or scratch.

At that point, whatever it is, is truly unique and totally mine.

I see many people having fun at your expense

The answer to your question is no , don't worry about scratches , they add character to your watch

Hope this helps and congrats on 13k
